MIAMI – As the games go by, Naji Marshall appears to be getting more and more comfortable with his role with the Dallas Mavericks.
Signed to a three-year, $27 million free agent contract this past offseason, Marshall has been very instrumental in getting acquainted with the P’s and Q’s of what goes on in helping the Mavs roll out to a 9-8 record this season. Not only has the fifth-year forward been able to score and rebound, but he’s also a solid defender who has the ability to initiate the offense.
“I think with Marshall, just the comfort level of having a playmaker on the floor and someone who gets us organized offensively (is great),” coach Jason Kidd said.
